Psalm 119:105

Worry like the Philippians?

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. I Peter 5:7 (NIV)

Giving up our anxiety is easier said than done, isn’t it? We face an enormous amount of pressure eachday, whether it’s from work, home or society.

Stress can cause us to turn inward for answers…a reliance on self to“fix” whatever situation we find ourselves facing. The Bible gives us great assurance that Godcares- and wants us to present Him with our worries. What a comfort to know that the same God thatcreated the heavens and the earth is also interested in our worries andconcerns!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, withthanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

The next time you go to God in prayer- thank Him for the blessings youhave received in this earthly life. Also present your concerns to Him. Give yourworries over to God and ask for His wisdom and guidance in assisting youthrough life’s valleys. We’ve been promised comfort and help. What a blessing!
